When Simon Cowell booked the X Factor judge on a transatlantic flight in coach, the lovely Doll was forced to fork over her own savings to make the flight bearable.

An inside source revealed:

“Nicole was fuming… She always flies first-class but she was amazed to find that she had been booked into economy. The X Factor books all of her flights — but she hadn’t expected this. Nicole spent 20 minutes trying to get BA to upgrade her but in the end she had to put her hand in her pocket."

Meow!!

Apparently darling Nikki spent around FIVE GRAND for the upgrade!!

Needless to say, she was not a happy kitty.

The source continued:

“There were a few mutterings about Simon Cowell being a tightwad.”

We bet there were!

Couple that with all the drama between her and Lewis Hamilton this week, after the Euro sportz star was caught revving his engine at British clubs with plethoras of models, and we're sure Nicole was grateful to have a comfortable spot on the plane for her 10+ hour flight!

We don't want to be there when this feral feline runs into Simon and extends those claws!!

Awww! Poor rich snob had to pay a couple thousand dollars of her own millions to sit in her home away from home: first class. But she ALWAYS fly first class! The horror of having to sit among people who probably had to scrape money together just to get a seat in coach. What a brat. I feel absolutely no sympathy

The poor dear. The thought of having to sit in coach with the simpleton peons must have been absolutely terrifying. She should become friends with Kim "The Princess" Kardashian. They already look alike somewhat, and now we know they share the same sense of entitlement.

i tend to agree with her i sat for about 12 hrs in coach and wanted to die just wish it wouldve crashed to get out of there . cannot stand it but then i never flew first class but chatted up the guy on the desk and got upgraded to 'special seats ' with a tonne of leg room on the way home. TY TY ty mean while some fAT GUY who was actually 'special ' had to stand LOLOL

OH NO!!!!!! God forbid she uses her OWN money to fly the way SHE wants to. Cry me a fuckin' river. Sounds like someone is starting to get the "I'm SO much better than the average person" attitude. Piss off Nicole.
